Not for me. I'd like to be able to hand something simple and fiddle-free to some friends that smoke. I'd give them an ego, a charger and some cartos. I want to stick with 510 types so I could transition them to re-filling blanks or clearos if they developed an interest in going further. I have some spare stuff I'd give away to get them started.

I think I saw some site selling Dekang pre-filled Boges, but I don't remember where. Is anything other than DeKang available pre-filled?

Halo had 510 cartos but i think they changed to 801 or 901. I love the malibu. If you found a good flavor you could always use a small adapter. One of the problems I have had with prefills, not just halo, is that they are sometimes the horizontal coil type carto and work good for the cig-a-like batteries but the draw gets tighter the more you refill them.

An eGo and ce4 type clearo does not have to steep of a learning curve and that set-up provides a good vaping experience.

That's what I started with, and I think that even that amount of fussing will put off this one lady I know. Liquid in the battery connection has to be wiped off all the time even with careful filling. I know I made mistakes all the time at the beginning and ended up with drips and leaks all over the place. I was well motivated to keep with it, but she's set in her ways. I don't see her often enough to do a lot of hand-holding at the beginning. I need to be able to hand her something and have it just work. Sigh, as I write that, she sounds like a cig-alike candidate really, but I was hoping to avoid that stage.

I only use 510 gear.
Prefer prefilled flavors when out.
After messing around with Blu & Volcano for refills.
I finally found the only place that sells great 510 cartos.
US made & never a dud. Jet Cigs.
Their high nic is 22 mg.
They have limited flavors.
But all of them are good.
I like Apple Medley & Mint Mojito the best. Classic Tobacco & Swiss Chocolate are awesome too.
They're only $6 for a box of 5.
Just use the code JETREF50.
Free Priority Mail if you spend $50.
But standard shipping is less than $3.
They always process the same day.
They're great on both my Blu & Vea batteries.
Bet they totally rock with a VV device!

I got my order from JetCigs a few days ago. I ordered 3 flavors, Sweet Passion, Swiss Chocolate and Menthol. I ordered 22mg, which is much stronger than I usually vape myself. I decided to try each flavor so that I'd have a feel for what I am going to give to these friends. All three flavors have a tobacco undertone, particularly noticeable in the menthol, just barely in the Chocolate. It's a mild, pleasant tobacco tone.

The cartridges look well made, not like some rushed out junk I've seen elsewhere. Each has a distinct color stripe and small flavor logo so you can tell the flavors apart. Resistance is around 3.1 ohms. They are refillable, there's a tiny dab of glue on the black, hard plastic mouthpiece, but it's easy enough to pull off with a bent paperclip. They are just a shade too small for a 510 drip tip to fit.


Sweet Passion Fruit - I'm not sure what passion fruit should taste like, so I can't say if it's true to the name or not. It is a pleasant fruity taste, just slightly sweet with a subtle tobacco undertone. It's the type of thing that would make a relaxing after dinner vape. I've been taking an occasional pull off the same cart for three days now and it's still tasting good. I definitely feel the nicotine hit pretty quickly, 22mg packs a punch for me, I can't chain vape this like I do with 6mg. I could see reordering this in 11mg for myself.

Menthol - Mild mint/menthol taste with a very distinct tobacco flavor. It's not to my taste, but there's nothing offensive about the flavor and I'll still finish this one off. Same nic feel as the passion fruit.

Swiss Chocolate - When I first tried this, it was amazing, a nice rich cocoa taste. But disappointing in that it turned dry and dull too quickly. I also didn't notice the nic being excessively strong for me. I hope it was just a one-off short-filled carto. I intend to try a second one to see if it's the same or better. Too bad they don't show Swiss Chocolate as available as a refill liquid, I would definitely order if they did.

The JETREF50 code apparently is one time use, I put some stuff in a cart and started checkout and it wouldn't take the code again. But, overnight, I got an email from jetcigs prompting me to complete the order and offering a new discount code. Full price seems a bit too high, but very reasonable with the code.

As an introduction to vaping for new users, i think these will work out fine. I'm not going to convert to these cartos from my Vivi Novas, as a regular thing. But as an occasional convenience, I would like to have some around to use for myself. I feel better sticking a carto in my pocket vs. any tank full of liquid.
